PlotEdit

Three children named Eric, Julie, and Neal discover a magical world called Droon in Eric's basement. Throughout the series, they work with a princess, a wizard, a spider troll, and other Droon citizens to defend Droon from the evil sorcerer Lord Sparr. In later books, Sparr is supplanted by a new villain named Emperor Ko, an ancient enemy of Droon. Near the end, Ko's right-hand dragon, Gethwing, supplants him.
